Notice of Inventory Completion: Field

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
Notice is here given in accordance
with the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act
(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the
completion of an inventory of human
remains in the possession of the Field
Museum of Natural History, Chicago, IL.
The human remains were removed from
Karluk, Kodiak Island, AK.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations
in this notice are the sole responsibility
of the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the Native
American human remains. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by Field Museum of
Natural History professional staff in
consultation with professional staff of
the Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological
Repository, Kodiak, AK, on behalf of
Koniag, Inc.; Native Village of Karluk;
and Native Village of Larsen Bay.
In 1893, employees of the Field
Museum of Natural History purchased
human remains representing one
individual from Ward’s Natural Science
Establishment, Rochester, NY (Field

number 407, catalog number 41471). No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The human remains have been
identified as Native American based on
specific cultural and geographic
attributions in Field Museum of Natural
History records. The records identify the
human remains as ‘‘Eskimo’’ from an
‘‘ancient dwelling at Karluk, Kodiak Isl.,
Alaska.’’ The term ‘‘Eskimo’’ is used by
anthropologists to refer to both the
prehistoric and historic Native peoples
of the Kodiak region, who are the
ancestors of the present-day Alutiiq
people. Specifically, the human remains
are from an area of the Kodiak
archipelago traditionally used by
shareholders and citizens of Koniag,
Inc.; Native Village of Karluk; and
Native Village of Larsen Bay.
Officials of the Field Museum of
Natural History have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of one
individual of Native American ancestry.
Officials of the Field Museum of Natural
History also have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is
a relationship of shared group identity
that can be reasonably traced between
the Native American human remains
and Koniag, Inc.; Native Village of
Karluk; and Native Village of Larsen
Bay.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Helen Robbins,
Repatriation Director, Field Museum of
Natural History, 1400 South Lake Shore
Drive, Chicago, IL 60605–2496,
telephone (312) 665–7317, before June
25, 2009. Repatriation of the human
remains to Koniag, Inc.; Native Village
of Karluk; and Native Village of Larsen
Bay may proceed after that date if no
additional claimants come forward.
The Field Museum of Natural History
is responsible for notifying Koniag, Inc.,
Native Village of Karluk, and Native
Village of Larsen Bay that this notice
has been published.
